I usually don't let this stuff bother me but since my husband has PIGS, I am concerned. I follow the news but have seen nothing about pig farmers in Fl. He buys pigs, (where do they come from????) My granddaughter has a trip planned to Mexico, flying, and she has made up her mind that she will go unless they close the border. I will be keeping her furbie while she is gone, but don't want her in the house and get him when she returns.
Am I paranoid????

Forgot to mention that I put an ad on Craigslist today about his pigs for sale. The news media is calling him and want to come to his farm and interview him. He told them not too because it will just stir up a lot of problems for him. He has had a lot of publicity in the past few years about what an animal lover he is and the FDA,etc. was on his case for a long time.
He could fight the devil and win. LOL

Don't let her go to Mexico Donna! Of course, you have no control, but you could bribe her.
I think Rod is right not to have an interview right now. It can only mean trouble!

Betsi, I would be a little concerned about the airplane ride, but not so much that I wouldn't go. I would imagine if someone is coughing or sneezing the flight attendants will give them a mask.
This flu is transmitted by airborne droplets - so you have to breathe in the virus. Washing hands, sanitizing is always good, but you can't get this flu through your mouth. Now, if you get a droplet in your hand, and then put your hand near your nose and breathe - then you could inhale the virus.

I am so relieved, they are going to Santo Domingo instead of Mexico.

I'm glad that your daughter's not going to Mexico. I wouldn't want any of my family going there during all of this. Too risky.

There are two children in Indianapolis (about 60 minutes south of us) that have the virus and they shut down two schools. I'm more worried about my Mom and my best friend because their health is compromised already.
I did read where it was just starting to slack off in Mexico...who knows if there is any truth to it, but I read it on MSN or Yahoo ...don't remember which.
